IXSTUUCnONS TO PERSONS ATTENDING THE 

 MEETING. 



1. The concession is fur delegates and 

 others going to Albany from any of the 

 above described trunk-line territory. 



2. If the starting-point is located on 

 some small road, or one not in either one 

 of the three trunk-line associations mak- 

 ing the concession, tickets should be pur- 



chased only to the most convenient place 

 where a trunk-line certillcate can be ob- 

 tained, and thence by ilirect routes only, 

 through to place of meeting. 



3. The going ticket must be purchased 

 within three days before, or not more than 

 three ilays after, the opening date of the 

 nieeiinij;, otherwise no n duction in fare 

 will be made on the return passage. 



4. E ich i)erson availing himself of the 

 concession will pay full taritl'fare going to 

 the meeting, and get a ceriilicate lilled in 

 on one siile by the agent of whom the 

 ticket is purchased. (The agents keep 

 the certificates in stock.) 



5. Present the certiticale to the secre- 

 tary at the meeting, that the other side 

 may be filled in. Certificates are not 

 transferable. 



<i. On presentation of the certificate, 

 duly filled in on both sides, within three 

 (la.\s (Sunday excepti'd) alter the ad- 

 journment of the meeting the ticket agent 

 at Albany will return the person to his 

 starting-point at one-third regular fare. 

 The return ticket will be issued over the 

 route used in going to meeting, and will 

 be available for continuous passage only. 



VERY IMPORTANT. 



7. It is absolutely necessary for each 

 passenger, before starting, ti> obtain a 

 certificate from the ticket agent at the 

 point at which the going ticket is pur- 

 chased, otherwise said passenger will be 

 unable to obtain special rate for return 

 journey, and will be obliged to pay full 

 taritt' rates in both directions. 



8. Delegates, and others availing them- 

 selves of the concession, should present 

 themselves at the office for ceitiflcates and 

 tickets at least thirty minutes before the 

 deparuire of trains. 



9. Every person attending the meeting 

 should get a certificate, no matter how 

 short the distance, as the more certificates 

 are signed at the meeting, the easier it 

 will be to secure reduceil rates another 

 year. 



Will sa3' to my friends who have 

 not received prompt rei)lies to their 

 letters that I have been out of the of- 

 fice for nearly six weeks. Have been 

 engaged in outside woik. 1 am novr 

 back again and all will receive quick 

 retiuTis in future. 



If oiH' friends will send ns the full 

 address of enterprising beekeepers we 

 will mail sample copies of Api to all.
